Came to Hua Hin and Khao Takiab for the first time in 1998, VERY quiet back then, Takiab was a small fishing village with nothing around.

Have been coming back every year since 2004 and now living here enjoying the serenity, not sure how long it will last, the weekends are becoming crazy on the roads, mass exodus of people from Bangkok clogging up the roads, and the tour buses rocking into sleepy Khao Takiab:)

First came in 1992, stayed at Royal Garden Village, north of Hua Hin. Not much between there and the Night Market in those days.
Only a handful of restaurants that were farang friendly. One was on the corner opposite the then Sofitel.
Only two tailors, no massage shops, no 7/11 but night market was as is today.
The beach was littered with angry dogs that made walks/runs along the beach unpleasant. A big tick to whoever cleaned this up.
The road from Bangkok was a single lane(each way) and took closer to 4 hours than 3, so another tick.

My first (and only visit so far) was 8-11th of November last year. It was a trip to decide if I liked Hua Hin enough to move there. The decision was a definite yes, and I'll be back for another visit next month!

Came here 2014, lured by a friend, and still here. Honestly I like it quite well. Did live some time in Bangkok before. I started to study Thai in 2015 and now can even read and write something. Not that I had something to say, though. Most of all I like here the food, nice people and climate. Sometimes I thought there were too may tourists, but when you take a bit of effort, quite opposite may emerge. Have a good time all.

My first visit was around 10-15 years ago and I wondered why Land was THAT expensive that most beach front hotels had land plots with around 10 meters width (of beach front) and around 500 meters in length.

Have never visited Hua Hin, a friend a of mine did make a trip back in late 2000 and she was all praise for the place. The reason i am here on this forum to know more about the place and plan a trip hopefully

I've been 3 times. Once on my own 2011, once with my family and parents 2014, and once with my and another family 2016. Great times all three. Heading back again at the start of April (on my own). Can't wait.
